Airthings Wave Plus vs X-Sense XR0A-iR Wi-Fi Radon Detector

The Airthings Wave Plus wins on connectivity, integrations, sensors and alerting, thanks to six sensors covering radon, CO2, VOCs, temperature, humidity and pressure plus Google Home, Alexa and Home Assistant support. The X-Sense XR0A-iR Wi-Fi Radon Detector counters with a lower price, a higher owner rating, longer battery life and an on-device screen.

The Airthings Wave Plus measures six things (radon, CO2, VOCs, temperature, humidity and pressure) but has no display at all, only a wave-to-check light. The X-Sense XR0A-iR Wi-Fi Radon Detector measures radon, temperature and humidity, and shows them on its own LCD.

No. It only has a wave-to-check light and depends on the Airthings app for readings. The X-Sense XR0A-iR Wi-Fi Radon Detector has an LCD showing short-term and long-term averages directly on the device.

Yes, both measure radon, temperature and humidity. The Airthings Wave Plus adds CO2, VOCs and atmospheric pressure on top, while the X-Sense XR0A-iR Wi-Fi Radon Detector stays focused on radon.

Anyone who wants one Bluetooth monitor covering radon alongside CO2 and VOCs, with Google Home, Alexa or Home Assistant support.

Buyers who want a more affordable, higher-rated, longer-lasting radon detector with a readable screen, and do not need CO2 or VOC tracking.
